Why Thou Art My Messiah?
(A Tribute to Bob Marley)
Brother Bob!
- Were you not raised by single parent?
- Did you not begin your career at the age of twelve years old?
- Did you not have disciple named the Wailers?
- Brother Bob! By the sweat of thy brow did you not eat your bread and feed many others that have not?
- Did you not enriched mankind with your wisdom?
- Wasn't your message to mankind was for them to live-up, walk in love and unity so they may be delivered from sorrow?
- Did you not delivered a nation (Zimbabwe) to the rightful inhabitant without using the edge of the sword?
- Wasn’t part of your miracle being that the beasts in the wilderness even trembled to your harmonious rhythms?
- Then, similarly, brother Bob! were you not crucified at the age of 36 years because of your divine messages to mankind?
- On this day in 1981, was there not dark cloud over the Earth and trembled upon the terrains when you depart?
- Whilst they await a Messiah, I recognize mine whilst he lived. I will continue to preach the greatness of your work continually.
Sleep well, my lord.
